Saving MSO captures without capture history

Hi All,

I’m not sure if this is already a feature that I couldn’t find in the docs, but I’d like to be able to save a capture without saving the entire history in triggered mode (or at least having a way to flush the history or delete certain captures from the history).

This would reduce a lot of file size bloat with these captures while letting me preserve the full information of the capture for review later.

@dario Sorry for the trouble with that! Trimming capabilities are planned for a future release. I don’t have an immediate timeline to share with you on that yet, but I can share an update in case we have more news to share.

In the meantime, could Mark’s workaround below help out?

Hi tim,

The current work around for me is to just create a new capture window for every capture I save and limit the # of triggers I actually record. This makes capture files much more manageable size-wise and is not too much trouble to do.
